Several airlines have resumed flight operations at the region's international airports in the Middle East, the FDFA announced on Wednesday in response to an inquiry from the Keystone-SDA news agency. There are currently daily scheduled flights from the United Arab Emirates to Switzerland.
The travel situation has thus calmed down. In the first days of the war at the beginning of March, over 4,000 stranded travelers from Switzerland registered on the travel app set up by the FDFA.
According to the FDFA, the helpline and Swiss diplomatic representations in the affected region are also quiet. These recorded a low volume of inquiries, which were mainly focused on travel advice and consular services. All Swiss representations in the Gulf States are in operation and staff are well.
Meanwhile, the Swiss embassy in Tehran remains closed. Apart from the situation on the ground, Switzerland continues to act as a protecting power for the United States in Iran, according to the FDFA. The communication channel between the USA and Iran is open and available. For reasons of discretion, however, Switzerland is not commenting further on this issue.
